It’s that time of year again where ANB Canada hosts a National Sales Meeting for the Principles and Sales team. This year we’d like to welcome everyone to Toronto for our annual event starting Sunday April 10th through to the 13th. This meeting allows everyone to interact and communicate with one another at a personal level and it gives everyone an opportunity to see what is up and coming that is exciting and new for 2016 and onwards!

McKesson said Wednesday that the deal will strengthen its position in Canada’s pharmaceutical supply chain and is a natural step for the two companies, which have worked together for more than 20 years.

“The acquisition of Rexall Health supports McKesson’s commitment to drive value in the industry by improving health care solutions delivered in the pharmacy. It enhances our ability to provide best-in-class pharmacy care through an expanded retail footprint for patients across Canada,” John Hammergren, chairman and chief executive officer of McKesson, said in a statement.

“Canada’s health care environment is rapidly evolving. It is marked by a move of primary care into pharmacy and increasingly complex patient demand,” Hammergren added. “With today’s announcement, McKesson will bring together the strengths and expertise of our diverse portfolio to address challenges and opportunities in delivering the very best patient care.”

“Some of you may have seen reports of a lawsuit filed against our company. We wanted to be sure that you, our valued customers and fans, know that the health and well-being of our customers is our top priority. Our products are safe to use, are made with the highest quality ingredients and they all meet or exceed all safety and quality standards set out by our industry. An independent laboratory puts each of our products through a battery of rigorous testing to ensure this is the case. For these reasons, we firmly believe this lawsuit is without merit, and we will continue to create new and exciting products that delight our customers. Thank you. EOS”

Some other key milestones as part of our 20th anniversary year include complete renovations of our Newmarket office and a very successful kick-off to 2015 with ANB’s National Sales Meeting this past January. We celebrated the evening with a fabulous and elegant Awards Gala. Approximately 130 people were in attendance consisting of employees, principles, retailers and business partners. We had the pleasure of awarding 3 of our principles with awards for Dedication, Advertising and Innovation. We also awarded our Sales team with Broker of the year and Sales Rep of the Year awards. One of the most memorable moments of the Gala was when our President and VP of Sales were given their very own award followed by a toast from Gary Downing. This is only the beginning, there is so much more to 2015 we can’t wait to share with you. We look forward to continued growth and success with all of our Principles and Retailer partners in the years to come. Please check back for monthly news and exciting updates.
